Black Cohosh Extract Plus
Meijer Naturals
Overview
The supplement contains three botanical ingredients traditionally used for women's health. While Black Cohosh and Chasteberry have reasonable evidence for their primary indications at the provided doses, the overall effectiveness of the combination and synergy for all claimed benefits is not robustly established. Dong Quai's efficacy, especially for menopausal symptoms, is less clear.
The Good
Black Cohosh is provided at an evidence-based dose (through daily serving) for menopausal symptom relief, including hot flashes and night sweats.
Chasteberry is included at a dose that is likely effective (through daily serving) for premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms and menstrual irregularities.
The product targets multiple aspects of women's hormonal health with traditional herbal remedies.
The Bad
The efficacy of Dong Quai for menopausal symptoms, especially hot flashes, is not strongly supported by robust clinical evidence.
Potential for side effects such as gastrointestinal upset, headache, and rare liver issues (from Black Cohosh).
Risk of drug interactions, especially for those on hormonal contraceptives, antipsychotics, or anticoagulants (from Chasteberry and Dong Quai).
